Acupressure

Acupressure

Acupressure is an ancient Chinese technique often used in conjunction
with acupuncture. It is based on the concept of life energy, which flows through "meridians" in the body.  It is a type of massage therapy that applies pressure on specific points, known as acupressure points or acupoints throughout the body. with the aim of clearing blockages in these meridians. Pressure may be applied by hand, by elbow, or with various devices. The goal of acupressure is to restore health and balance in the body and to promote relaxation.
Acupressure can help with a range of conditions, from motion sickness to headache to muscle pain, insomnia,  constipation, Cancer-related and other forms of fatigue.
Acupressure is often done by an acupuncturist. Depending on what points they need to access, you may sit or lie on a massage table during the session. Some people may feel sore or have bruises at acupressure points after a session. You may also feel lightheaded for a while.
